All of these Big Tech companies are slimy fucks actively working to enslave humanity. There are no good guys. I puked in my mouth watching Tim Cook fawn over Trump. None of these people have a shred of decency. Fuck Apple. Fuck Google. Buy a paper map.

Better yet, help support open data initiatives like OpenStreetMaps or alternatives. No reason why maps can't be digital without ads.

Tried to, but they block some vpn IPs and ne some mail domains, notably mail aliases

Plus they basically stopped replying to me. Are mail aliases really used as spam? I believe it’s a made up thing

And anyways, when contacting them manually, it should be enough to understand that it’s not automated. It would be so easy to spam register using non flagged IPs and non flagged domains but they’re still rigid about these rules. I hate when services do that.

Yes!, continue supporting OpenStreetMaps so Apple, Mapbox, Microsoft, Uber and Lyft can continue turning your free work into millions of dollars.
